It all comes back to [VIDEO] . It's easy to blame our leaders, but we choose our leaders. The real problem is our culture of entitlement and bigotry which celebrates naivety. Yes, Trump's corona response was terrible, but in the end the problem is the huge number of people who not only refuse to wear a mask/quarantine but put considerable effort into mocking those who do.
Wealthy people don't want to pay existing income taxes, let alone more income taxes (progressive income tax policy). Trump has pushed tariffs, and said other countries will pay for it. That is, of course, not how it works [1], but the people who believe this are...unsophisticated [2] [3] [4] and are voting their hate [5] and the uneducated view that POTUS controls price levels [6]. So they will cheer on tariffs that they will pay for, increasing a regressive tax on themselves and others who buy goods that will increase in price to cover this tax, while enabling the wealthy to not have to pay more income taxes. If it wasn't so terrible, I would compliment it as clever. “The forest was shrinking but the trees kept voting for the axe, for the axe was clever and convinced the trees that because his handle was made of wood he was one of them.” -― Turkish Proverb [1] Who Pays Tariffs?
